• Creatures in the Park

  With temperatures forecast for the high 90's today, the boys and I headed to the park early in an attempt to beat the heat.  They were having great fun running different obstacle courses.   They were taking turns setting up courses for each other to run and were timing themselves to see who was the fastest.

  But something caught their attention.  Something small that made them slow down and look closely.

  

  This little frog wasn't real slow, but he did catch our attention.  He took several death defying leaps before we finally got a focused shot of him.

  

  Then the search was on for other small creatures.  This fellow was very cooperative and didn't fidget when we asked him to smile for the camera.

  

  Of course the mushroom was very cooperative, but I did have to lie on the ground to get this shot.

  

  We found several spiders, but this one was the only one that we were able to get a photo of. 

  Even though we could hear different birds, we were unable to see any.  Our early jaunt to the park started with one objective, but we ended up doing something entirely different and still having a nice time.
